Land art and site specific sculpture - land art uses
the environment and its scale as its material. Concrete art is expressed in
material itself with which the artist introduces her non-representational objective.
Public art can be viewed and accessed by observers.

EXHIBITIONS

Exhibitions are often for showing new sculpture to the public. In the case
of site specific art and
public sculptures
however, the art is already in the public domain. Public art is what it
says, but site specific art is not by definition in the public domain -
in the sense of the urban space. It can be located on more remote locations.
So it is usually good to install exhibitions of documentation of site specific
works of art. A sculptor making mainly commissioned art in public places
should show this work to a greater public also. This can be documented public
sculpture like environmental works and land art projects. But also his studies
and models of sculpture can be interesting to the general public. So there
is no reason to maintain that exhibiting one's art is not for every
artist.

In 2006 I installed my larger works around our new home in
the Finnish Lake District. It is an old estate which had been abandoned
for decades until the nineties of the twentieth century. Earlier had been a fruit and vegetable farm with heated greenhouses fields
and pastures. Most of the open area is now forested - and on the cleared
field with remnants of the orchard, my bronze, steel and wooden sculptures are
now exhibited. I named this sculpture park after the name of
the estate, Penttilä - it became
Penttilä Open Air Museum,
POAM.
